Babysitting

disabled individuals—not because I looked down upon or disliked them, but simply because I feared acting awkwardly or saying the wrong thing around them. When I applied for the job during my senior year of college, I figured it would be a glorified babysitting position; instead, I found myself facing one challenge after another: communication barriers (many autistic children are nonverbal), behavioral adversities (aggressive episodes where I was punched and kicked), and extremely slow progress…

school to raise the opportunities for learning. If the students are at school they want to learn, they are teachable. The principal Chris Sarra expects “his teachers and teacher aides to be engaging students in effective learning and teaching, not babysitting” (QUT Creative Industries, 2002). The students displayed best how they learn when they are happy, having a good time, when they feel belonging and when classrooms are full. The children enjoyed particular lessons of traditional dance, music…

One of my passions in life is service. I love giving back to the community by serving marginalized communities. Xavier University’s Alternative Breaks (AB) program has given me an opportunity to do this through service and leadership. As a 2015-2016 Alternative Breaks site leader, I was responsible for leading ten participants in direct service to explore the impacts of HIV/AIDS on communities in Memphis, Tennessee. The immersion trip took place during spring break period. In Memphis, we worked…

Growing up I was always the man of the house until a couple years ago. My mom raised me, my sister Josie and my brother Noah, who has special needs and cannot do anything on his own, all on her own. Babysitting for several hours. Changing diapers. I was always on it. Growing up being the male role model, especially to my younger sister Josie, has had a big impact on my life. Josie has always looked up to me as someone to learn from. “Josie this stuff is too dangerous for you,” I would always…

The American education system touches the lives of millions of American children across the country and it undeniably has long lasting effects on each of their futures. Approximately 97% of American children are enrolled in school each year. This means that at the heart of American society and culture and politics is the education system that shaped its people. There are numerous reasons why the education system is necessary and beneficial, but this is not to say that it does not have its flaws.…

The choices I made were to go to the drug symposium at the high school. There was March for Parks, Yough Walk, Cougars in Combat, babysitting after school, making blankets for newborns, and a mass variety of other events. At the Drug symposium we worked stations doing games for the little kids to play. The station I worked at was the duck pond with two other people, Hannah and Mady. In…

funnels so that it would be easier for other people to collect water for their plants. Personally, my mom and dad are from Korea and none of my relatives live nearby us. When my mom and dad are at work and school, my community helped my family by babysitting me and my sister.…

I would come home from school and have the opportunity to help her with the children. I also started babysitting when I was a freshmen in highschool. I really enjoyed the experience I had. One way I was able to get more experience with children was through my church's nursery. I have gotten lots of personal experience watching and playing with young children…

Throughout the years, I have thoroughly enjoyed working and interacting with children, and my experiences with them include: being a tutor, volunteering at Vacation Bible School, babysitting, and leading and organizing a Jr. Cheerleading Camp for children ages four through…
